The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no references about the movie, an article, or a link to the movie, we can help you by commenting based on our knowledge of the topic.

Wendell Smith had such a personal stake in the success of Jackie Robinson because he covered and supported his career from the very beginning.

Wendell Smith had chosen three African American players to participate in a tryout for the Boston Red Sox. One of them was Jackie Robison, who, at that time, played for the Kansas City Monarchs. He was a shortstop.

For whatever reasons that try-out was canceled, but at that moment Smith received a call from Branch Ricky, the General Manager of the Brooklin Dodgers, and that is when Smith talk to Rickey about the quality of Robinson as a baseball player.

Y_Kistochka [10]

<em>The correct answer is option C: Immigrants resisted the “Americanization Movement” by developing Catholic schools in cities.</em>

The Americanization Movement pursued to turn immigrants into Americans by introducing them to a variety of education programs and campaigns. Local community centers and organizations offered immigrants free classes on American history, English language as well as specific skills for developing jobs. However, many immigrants refused to assimilate into the American civic culture, so they developed Catholic schools to keep their roots. After 1890, those immigrants who started to arrive from Southern and Eastern Europe, were more likely to be Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Jewish. These religions were not very common in America during those times. By doing so, they were able to resist the Americanization Movement goals.

Lake discovered by Samuel de Champlain in upper New York is called Lake
zloy xaker [14]
Samuel de Champlain was born at Brouage around 1570. There is no known portrait of the Father of New France and little is known about his family. His father and uncle were sea captains and he informed the French court that the art of navigation had attracted him from his “tender youth.” We do not know where he learned the many skills (navigation; cartography; drawing; geography) that prepared him for his North American experience. In all likelihood Champlain learned about sailing at Brouage, a port on the French Atlantic coast, a key stopover for ships of all nations who needed to take on cargoes of salt before sailing for the fishing grounds off Newfoundland and the coast of New England. Concerning his military skills, we know that he served as a soldier in the French province of Brittany where Catholic forces allied with Spain opposed Henry IV as the rightful king of France. From 1595 to 1598, he served in the army of Henry IV with the title of sergeant quartermaster. His uncle was also involved in this final chapter of the war of religions and, at the conclusion of hostilities, we find them reunited at the port of Blavet where the two sailed for Spain in 1598. From Spain Champlain joined a fleet bound for the Spanish West Indies, a voyage that took him two years and a half. While he never published an account of this voyage, several manuscript versions exist of the Brief discours des choses plus remarquables que Samuel Champlain de Brouage a reconnues aux Indes Occidentals [Narrative of a Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico in the years 1599-1602]. The work includes many illustrations of the flora and fauna of the sites visited, and several maps of islands and cities such as Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, Panama, Cartagena, and Havana.

lana66690 [7]
William Jennings Bryan is a prominent American politician who supports anti-imperialism. He calls for a rejection of imperialism in American policy on the grounds that imperialism is directly opposed to basic American values. Specifically, he mentions that God gives every human heart the love of Liberty and any human kind regardless any level of civilization or intelligence would never want to be controlled by a foreign country. In order to point out the conflict between the ideas behind the establishment of the United States and imperial ambitions, he recalls what Lincoln said that the safety of America was built in the spirit that treasure liberty as a “heritage <span>of all men, in all lands, everywhere” and United States should never go against this spirit.</span>
